See below for diagrams on the G#dim w/u and
the C add-on for the verse (and other chords)
CIf I was Jesus, I'd have some real long hair
A robe and some sandals, is exactly what I'dG wear
I'd be the guy at theC party, turnin' water to wine
G G#dim w/u
Yeah me and my disciples, we'd have a real good time
Chorus:
AmOoh and I'd lFay my life down fCor you G (G#dimwooah)
AmYeah and FI show you who's the bCoss G (G#dimwooah)
AmI'd forgFive you and a[C-C/B-Am-G]do---re you
FWhile I was hangin' on your Gcross
If I was CJesus, I'd have some friends that were poor
I'd run around with the wrong crowd, man I'd never beG bored
Then I'd heal me a Cblind man, get myself crucified
G G#dim w/u
By politicians and preachers, who got somethin' to hide
CHORUS
If I was CJesus
Dobro solo: (all C)
If I was CJesus, I'd come back from the dead
And I'd walk on some water, just to mess with yourG head
I know your dark littleC secrets, I'd look you right in the face
G G#dim w/u
And I'd tell you I love you, with Amazing Grace
CHORUS
If I was CJesus (repeat)
